    So they will develop a new drug to cure this and market it to the parents of children that play games.....big market there. At least they will not be testing this on the poor in 'those' countries since they cannot afford the games (constant gardener reference there).

    I tried filing a long term disability claim for my gaming addiction but the insurance company isn't buying it.

    Pity.
